Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2020 Q3 SLINE PREMIUM ON AUGUST 15, 2020. THE VEHICLE HAD STALLED TWICE, FIRST ON AUGUST 17, 2020 AND SECOND ON AUGUST 20, 2020. IN BOTH CASES, THE ENGINE STOPPED AS SOON AS I STOPPED IN AUTO WITH MY PARKING BRAKES ENGAGED. THE DISPLAY SCREEN ALSO WENT DEAD/BLANK IN BOTH CASES. IN BOTH CASES I HAD TO RESTART BEFORE I CAN DRIVE. I ALSO NOTICE THAT WHEN STOPPED AND THE AUTO STOP ENGAGES THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN A CORNER FROM A RED LIGHT. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IDENTIFIES TAR ON THE ROAD AS LANES AND JERKS THE CAR AWAY AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL THE STEERING BACK.
